Private Families
Bespoke private education
Personalised education tailored to the individual student — not a mass-market tutoring service, but a carefully designed programme built around your child's specific needs, goals and learning style.
What private education with Charles involves
Charles holds UK Qualified Teacher Status, a PGCE in Computing from King's College London and a BSc in Computer Forensics. He has led Computer Science departments in international schools across the UK, Kuwait and Dubai, and has taught every level from KS3 through to the IB Diploma Programme.
Private education with Charles is not hourly subject tutoring. It is a sustained, structured engagement designed around the individual student — their current level, their goals, their examination requirements and their learning style. Sessions are planned, progressive and purposeful.
Where appropriate, Computer Science and technology education can be combined with chess development, physical activity and broader enrichment within a single coherent programme — removing the need for multiple unrelated tutors and coaches.
